Eight lads from Sacred Heart School in Middlesbrough aim to follow the Boro on the road to the Millennium Stadium.

The team beat off dozens of other primary schools to win the local round of the Kellogg's Frosties Cup.

Now the youngsters are hoping to emulate the Boro and follow in the footsteps of fellow Teesside school, The Avenue from Nunthorpe, who won the Kellogg's trophy at the Cardiff stadium last season.

The Avenue emerged victorious from 3,000 teams who took part in the Football in the Community schools' under-11 six-a-side competition.

Sacred Heart have taken the first step towards matching The Avenue's achievement by winning the regional heat at Eston and they now progress to the North regional heat - just one step from Cardiff - which takes place in Huddersfield in the New Year.
